Study Plan

1
Day 1–2

Learn the Theory

Read the textbook chapter carefully. Note down definitions, formulas and key ideas. Focus on: Basic Properties of Magnets, Magnetic Field and Field Lines, Torque on a Magnetic Dipole.

2
Day 3

Practise

Solve the textbook exercises and extra practice questions. There are 42 questions available for this chapter.

3
Day 4

Revise & Test

Revise key points without looking at your notes. Take a practice quiz and mark weak areas for another pass.

Day 7

Spaced Revision

Come back to Magnetism after a week. Use flashcards for quick recall and try past exam questions on this chapter.

What to Focus On

  • Magnets attract iron, nickel, and cobalt.
  • Directive property: Freely suspended magnet aligns in N-S direction.
  • Attractive property: Strongest at poles.
  • Magnetic field is a vector represented by B.
  • Magnetic field lines show direction and strength of B.
  • Field lines are closed curves — from N to S outside, S to N inside.
  • A bar magnet in a uniform field experiences torque, not net force.
  • Torque τ = MB sinθ.
  • Magnetic moment M = m × l.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Magnetic field lines start at the north pole and end at the south pole, just like electric field lines.

The Earth's magnetic north pole is near the geographic north pole.

Magnetic flux depends only on the strength of the magnetic field and area, not on orientation.

Memory Tips

Directive Property of Magnets: Freely suspended magnet aligns in North-South direction

Attractive Property: Maximum attraction at poles

Like poles repel, unlike poles attract

Magnetic field lines form closed loops: Outside from N to S, inside from S to N
